This is one of my favorite channels, her explanations are so in depth. Really upped my game without having to buy anything, just wear the clothes I have better
Thank you! So glad to hear you like it!
This comment got me subscribing even before watching the video
So I binge watched your videos on Friday Saturday. Sunday i decided to dress based on all you tips for petite hourglass body shape.
I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!! I went to the mall and strangers were telling me what good style I had. Someone even took a photo of my shoes because they thought they were so cool. (I have worn those shoes plenty on times but styled wrong no one noticed them!)
Thaaaaank you so so much! I feel so much more confident and these videos helped a lot!
Katy- your comment really made my day! I'm so happy you are able to use these tips the way you did and made them work for your own personal style!!
Laughed way to hard at this video, "Mister Eye" 😂😂
So glad to hear!
Omg this was hilarious! Amazing production value. You continue to outdo yourself with the quality and valuable content! Thank YOU Chi!
Thank you for also addressing short waisted/long waisted in the styling. So helpful!!
Your quirky sense of humour is my favourite part of all your videos , very helpful tips! Thank you for this
So glad to hear!
I knew there must be someone out there who also doesn't like the never-ending "oversized everything" trend. I'm a petite hourglass, and finding flattering clothes has been difficult for the last 10 years 🤕.
Can't agree any more Katharina!
It's the stupid fast fashion politics, where it is easier to manufacture clothes that have no definition...
Lol even when oversize became trendy.... Those jumpers and joggers will be either too short or not looking oversize enough...
@@kumarules118 same lmao
I love your sense of humour! It makes me laugh and when it oomes to fashion we really need to have a good laugh because sometimes it can be quite stressful trying to work it all out!
This was perfect information for me at this moment because I've been trying to find a midi dress to wear this summer! Loved it.
So glad to hear!
Hi Chi & ladies! New subscriber. LOVING this channel. There are many YT fashion experts listing what not to wear, but few explain why. I appreciate the detail you go into. I’m never shopping again without consulting your website & channel!
Btw...Your website & online store are amazing. You’re an impressive business woman & an inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lorelei!
I absolutely love asymmetrical hemlines. I get tons of compliments when I wear my all lace high low dress
I just discovered this channel and am loving it. You have the perfect format - welcome, clear and concise information sharing, add a dash of humor to keep the interest. Boom! Any other TH-camrs here, watch her format for a failsafe format. Love that navy blue dress!
Recently started following you and I'm so angry at myself for not discovering you any sooner.😂. Anyway i love your videos. And i must say i used to avoid midi dresses but now a whole new possibility has opened up. Keep up the good work. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Priti!! So glad you find it helpful!
Well, now you get to binge-watch Chi’s great videos!
You’re so charismatic and stylish! Love your videos! 🥰🥰🥰
Also, very important that you mentioned those sleeping-bag dresses that only fit super skinny models... and yet became so popular somehow! As a petite curvy woman I aim for garments that accentuate my waistline but sometimes the options are limited.
Thank you Maria- can't agree more about "accentuating waistline"!
This video kicked SO much ass.....and helped this petite gal rock midi dresses without looking like I am drowning!
Everything Ms Li says makes so much sense. And there is absolutely NO hint of body shaming at all. I love how she shows an example of every point she makes and how she covers every body type in the petite realm. Also, she does not try to conceal that she is an apple shape, but shows her cute tummy when it helps her make a point.
You’re incredibly smart, witty, beautiful, and funny! Love the amazing music you picked today! I’m a 5’2.5 Latina and have learned so much from your channel. Thank you!
Thank you so much Karla! So glad you like them!
Thank you thank you!!! I’m not the only one who thinks that oversized doesn’t flatter petites! 😁
I love your humourous side as much as I love your style💖💖💖💖
I like your first dress! I know it's trending now but was worried it'll make me look older. Thanks for your tips! Also, I was actually pretty keen on getting a t shirt dress (like your last dress) from Uniqlo, some girls carry it so well with white sneakers, they look comfy and trendy. But on me it looks like an oversized night gown 😅
Yes I know that Uniqlo dress you are talking about...
This helps so much! I love midi styles but I could never figure out why they never looked good on me
Hi. Your excellent advice, energetic personality and great sense of humor make your channel fun to watch and informative. While I am not considered petite at 5'4, I just wanted to say that I love my height. I think it's perfect for me. I have zero desire to be taller. I also think everyone, no matter how short she is should love her height as well. Continue doing great things. Peace.
Love your “Mr Eyes”😂❤️👍 Thank you.
So glad to hear!
Love the green dress. So casual and can be dressed up.
Thank you so much, Chi, for all your fashion advice, especially on wearing dresses and skirts. So very beautiful. Love you! 😘❤️
Love the tip about the slit. Who knew?! Great video!
Glad you liked it!!
That intro was 👌👌 thank you for the tricks! I'm 5' tall with short legs and prefer midi length
You deserve more subscribers. The quality of your videos is top notch and the information you teach makes logical sense!
Thank you so much!
Just great... Your tips are top... And your performance, amazing!! Love it 👏😄
I laughed at intro. Thank you soooo much. Great tips. You're so cute.
Great video! That’s funny about Chai, maybe she’s your alter ego… Chai Tea, ..😂and she could have her own Instagram! Tell Chai, that Chi is fabulous! 😂
Thank you love!
My middle name is Jytte! No one can get it right! I gave up years ago!😂
@@eileenternullo8077 help us then😂
You-ta
That's close
Great tips! Love your sense of humor!
Thanks so much!
Love YOU, Chi❤️ This video is so fun & very informative🙌🏻 I’m 4’ 10 😂🤣 and always trying to find how to get taller LOL! Thank you for all your videos...love it all💕
So glad Yoda!!
Love the way you present this information. Your advice is spot on!
Thank you Jennifer!
👁 Mr. Eye! So cute 😂 thanks for such a good video! Now to find a midi dress and a belt. Thanks, Chi!
Thank you! So glad you like it!
So glad found this channel being a petite. Love from London
Yey! Thank you, AJ U!
Your videos are good. I have a wedding to go to and I realized I didn’t have a lot of appropriate dresses to wear. One dress I tried on had the Little House on the Prairie feel. Needless to say I had to keep searching. I ordered a dress on Amazon. Hopefully this one will work. I am short and short waisted.
I am 5 foot 2 also and don’t wear midi dresses for that reason. I don’t want to look shorter, so I love your tips because now maybe I will consider one
So glad to hear! Give it a try!
me, a brand new subscriber: so her name is Chai? What a cool name! Also me: Wait, it's actually Chi? What a cool name!
Haha, thank you! You are funny!
Yeah I was confused, I thought it was Chi which reminds me of energy and I thought I’d been wrong the whole time, then Chai reminded me of spiced drinks.
I’m sharing my bits with you- maybe it’s good input for you for another video . I’m 155 CMs with long legs and arms and a short boxy torso . My legs begin at my ribs ! For me the very short length never really worked as I looked “ waist less “ so for years now I’ve worn midis and worked all over the world with nude heels ; it always got me compliments. My idea of saying this is - look at the rules but really customise your look . So I’m a midi petite and now that I’m 49 I can understand that the midi always added length to my torso . It’s the 2/3 rd rule
That's a great point! Thanks for sharing with me!
@@honeywren pls see the rule of thirds from the same tuber
Love the way u explain, wanna look tall & beautiful as I grow older am 41 now but don't wanna give up...every mom who want to look beautiful here. 🥰👍
Great suggestions! So happy to see how much the video quality is improved! Amazing!
Midi dresses are always ridiculously long on me. I used to hem them all, but ran out of steam over the years. I love a true midi, just covering the kneecap, but they’re so hard to find. Thanks for the tips, Chi!
I think I need to add slits to some midi length stuff!
I love your content and it is teaching me so much about dressing right!

Just back from taking my new dress to the taylor to be shortened...I miss a shop like yours in Italy...
So happy to came across ur channel, I'm 5 ft and always find it hard to wear dresses w/o looking short.
Great advises. Thanks ❤️
You are hysterical. I love your advice. Really liked. that red dress. I am going to make this.
The green dress is beautiful on you!!
Thank you!!
You have the most beautiful collection of midi dresses I’ve ever seen! Thanks for sharing the links to the dresses.
Thank you so much Theresa!
I have lot of midi dress but I keep the top fit. I also choose flowy dresses and pair it with pointy or heeled sandals.
Can you please do a video on how to wear dress and midi skirt for big calves women.
That's a great suggestion! I'll do a video on dressing big calves all around!
@@PetiteDressing thank you so much for your positive response 💖💖💖💖
I just love your humour ,very entertaining ❤️
So glad to hear, Christine!
Life saver for summer! Right on time to prevent future purchases. Thanks Chi, very relevant
So glad to hear!
I like your tips for short women. Can you please also show some tips on how to cover very deep necks.
"Mr Eye" haha I love it
Thank you so much = this is perfect video for us short ladies
Thank you for all the good tips. I am 5 4” with a long torso. I have zero midi dresses or skirts because I have always felt they look triable on me. Going to try some of your tips. 😊 Thank you!
Yes they are hard to wear! So glad you like the tips!
I really enjoy your humor and the great info!!!!
Thak you so much for appreciating!
You're so excited about this subject it shows, very pleasant to watch :) thanks for sharing that good energy
You are enchanting. I loved the video--and learned not to wear midis that fall at the widest part of my calf. Well, now I know at what height to hem my new summer dresses. Thank you!
Love these videos! I am 5’1” and you have helped me realize why I’ve been having such difficulty. Now I have some direction
Wonderful!
This is the video of the year
Thank you! You are so sweet!
I love your channel thank you again for sharing ,all your knowledge . I believe you are changing so many women’s lives , you are giving me confidence. I am a 5 ft 2 inch apple shape also .
So glad to hear!
The belt trick isn't a good idea if you're short and busty but the slit trick should work!
I don't think you have "Skinny calves". I think you have a great shape to your leg, with wonderful, shapely calves. I have legs where the calves are only a little wider than my skinny ankles. A doctor thought I must have atrophied muscles! I've always wanted legs like yours.
Love, love, love this channel ando your videos. Thanks Chi. Love from Portugal.
Yay! Thank you!
I'm a petite too..Thank you for your vlog..it help me a lot in dressing up.👌🤩

You are so welcome! ❤️
You’re so awesome and informative ❤️love ya!
Fantastic tips 👏👏👏more dress ideas please 🙂💕💕💕💕💕💕
Belts are the best accessory.
Agreed!
I wish they would kill the oversized trend! As a petite, I can’t find a single blazer or jacket that fits my narrower shoulders, or doesn’t end at my lower thigh. I’ve even checked petite lines at department stores.
Check Talbot's. They sell shorter, normal length jackets in petite sizes.
Your videos are getting better and better 🙂
Thank you Kar!
Wonderful video! My biggest issue is midi dresses and this helped! Love your sense of humor too 👍🌹🙏
So glad to hear Sarah!
Thanks, Chi! Love your video and sense of humour! Your legs look amazing in the handkerchief skirt! Wow! I love the simplicity of the oversize look but you're right, it looks very frumpy when I actually put one on unless you're a supermodel! Take care! :)
Yes! Thank you!
Love the intro Chi and love your satin dress looks gorgeous on you with those shoes and shows your legs fabulous in them. Love the slits in dresses it gives it that sexy look to the legs and looks stunning with pointy toe high heels. Have a lovely weekend and a fabulous video love!! ❤😍
Thank you love!
Love the confidence! Thanks for all the tips!
Oh my gosh this was/you are delightful!
